The Christine Tarantino Collection, newest Christine Tarantino art blog started on January 1, 2012. Showcasing selected works from my 20 year collection of works on paper from artists around the globe.http://christinetarantinocollection.blogspot.com/

The second entry in the Space Between Trilogy (the first, Space Between
Scorpions, was released through Microbit Records), this split release
between experimental guitarist and soundscaper Sean Derrick Cooper
Marquardt and the downright experimental Consistency Nature is full of
shimmering, gossamer compositions. Although the tracks lack any real
structure, their brittle, yet rich textures hang their beautifully like
art in a gallery, let loose from the confines of its frame. Ghostly
hints of melody play in each piece, stringing the album together, but
never achieve corporeal form. Mesopotamians believed the constellation
Aquarius was the representation of Enki, later Ea, the lord of water,
who was often depicted holding an overflowing vase. This is a fitting
inspiration for this album full of songs that flow over one's conscious,
drowning out the unnecessary and clearing the way for their beauty to
flourish.

Christine A. Tarantino is an American artist (b. 1948, New York City) who specializes in visual poetry and artist books. She has also been known as Words of Light, CHRISTAR and 'the homeless poet'.

As soon as I make a mark on my paper, that mark is dead. It no longer flows, it stops. I consider it an artistically ethical challenge then. Do I want the marks I make to really be there? And should all marks of art be beautiful? I say yes, to try is to aspire.

A picture can be skillfully painted but totally devoid of art. Art then is the 'power to percieve the beautiful and of expressing it in artistic form'. This is the true definition of fine art. Always has been, always will be.
